>>102288460If you know someone's a drunk and you buy them a bottle of champagne and they drink it and crash the car, you bare some responsibility.
That's what Scrooge did here, he bought Della the biggest, best bottle of champagne he could find. And the fact that you think three kids are going to blame their dead mom when a living scapegoat's RIGHT THERE you don't get how humans work.
Yes Scrooge has a legitimate reason to say, "This wasn't my fault and I did everything I possibly could to fix it." but, just like the plane, he CAN'T fix it. There is nothing to fix, and until he has the humility to own op to his role in causing the damage, he's in no place to demand three children who just heard this awful story give the correct amount of blame to their dead mother. Beakly and Webby both tried to mitigate the damage and were basically tossed out of the family as a result.
No, it's not fair, and Della will probably never bare her share of the blame for going on a joyride in an unfinished experimental spaceship when her kids were about to hatch except, maybe, in very faint subtext. But that kind of raw reaction is very human; and I think, appropriate.
